Reina was terrible in his last season or so for us.
Just about every shot on goal (so long as it did not hit him on the way) went in.
I think he never properly recovered from his double hernia op.
After that op he never seemed to dive much anymore but rather went down on one knee with both arms stretched out like John Boulter from B&W Minstrels

By his own standards, maybe. His worst, was still much better than anything Mignolet has produced to date.

My biggest mentor is myself because I've had to study, so that's been my biggest influence.

Once a bird bats her eyelids at another guy it's time for the bin... unless you like stirring some other geezer's porridge of course?
It was time to let Pepe 'One Knee' Reina go. It's unfortunate that none of the managers since have found a replacement to replicate or better those 2 good seasons he had with us. He's been steady since he left, nothing more, nothing less. His heart wasn't in LFC anymore so it had to be "hasta luego" Pepe mi amigo.

Btw, your memory is sharp as shit, well done friend.

It's not unfortunate, it's simply very difficult to find top quality goal keepers. That's the point I was making at the time. Maybe one day, you'll get it.

And Pepe One Knee was 100% guaranteed to replicate his good form from the previous couple of seasons, we know this as fact, right?

We know it's very difficult to replace a good keeper. It's not really any more complex than that. There is nothing unfortunate about ending up with Mignolet and Karius, the whole scenario was entirely predictable, once we'd binned Reina.

The same mugs who thought that was a good idea, are now telling us Mignolet is improving.
